About this experience
Mawsynram sits on the southern edge of the Khasi Hills, where monsoon clouds from the Bay of Bengal hit the cliffs and drop record amounts of rain. In the dry season it is green, quiet and far less visited than Cherrapunji.
The day takes in Mawjymbuin cave, whose stalagmite is worshipped as a Shivalinga, the dome-shaped Symper rock, and viewpoints over the plains of Bangladesh. You can add Laitlum or the Mawphlang forest on the way back.
